In an op-ed in The Progressive magazine, Public Health Watch executive director and editor-in-chief Jim Morris writes that “the true measure of the nation’s commitment to the people who staff our factories, mines and warehouses — the legal protections we offer against illness, injury and death — shows that we really don’t care.”
Morris’ piece coincides with the release of his book, “The Cancer Factory,” which examines an epidemic of bladder cancer at a chemical plant in western New York — and, more broadly, the nation’s failure to protect its workers from toxic hazards.
